796 Chapter 33 Working With Notation
Using Score Sets to Create Scores and Parts
You can use score sets to determine which instrument tracks should be included in the
score display. Each project can contain as many score sets as required. Score sets allow
you to:
 Produce both the full score and individual parts (such as particular groups of
instruments).
 Arrange the (vertical) order of instrument tracks in the score, independent of the
order of tracks in the Arrange area.
 Assign a name (and an abbreviated name, if desired) to each instrument track, which
will be displayed and printed as instrument names in the score.
 Determine which staffs will be connected by brackets or bar lines.
 Exclude the display of tracks that are only relevant for playback, but not for the score
(tracks that only contain MIDI controller data, for example).
 Simultaneously reduce or enlarge all staffs in each staff set, by using the Scale
parameter. This allows you to use the same staff styles for printout of full scores and
individual parts.
 Select from two different parameter sets (Score or Part) for page margins, header
space height, vertical distance between staff systems, and the maximum number of
bars per line.
The Relationship Between Score Sets and Display Modes
A score set will only be shown as defined if an appropriate display mode is chosen.
Content Link and Content Catch only allow the display of one MIDI region at a time,
making them unsuitable for work with score sets. It’s usually best to deactivate Link,
once the desired score set is fully displayed. If only one MIDI region is displayed,
double-click below the staff, which will display the full score, then deactivate Link.
∏
Tip: It is possible to work with several open Score Editor windows, each showing
different display levels or different score sets.
Choosing a Score Set
A score set is chosen in the Inspector’s Score Set menu.
Click the menu to show all available score sets. New projects will only show the All
Instruments score set which will display all instruments—dependent on the display
level.
